Report of the Director of Place and Enterprise

Contact: George Candler   Tel: 255003

RESOLVED:

That the following amendments to the Community Right to Bid process be approved:

·                Remove “Constituted Community / Voluntary Group from the list of organisation’ that can nominate (this type is not a qualifying organisation under the Legislation).  This type of body could come under the “unincorporated” body provided it meets the requirements of this definition.

·                Request more detailed information from the nominator, Parish Council and Community Enablement Officer (to enable more effective and efficient consideration of whether the asset should be listed as an Asset of Community Value).

The Portfolio Holder for Communities presented a report detailing minor amendments to the Community Right to Bid process. 

Following concerns raised relating to the timing of local Member/s being informed of any such bids, it was agreed that the local Member would be informed early in the process; any necessary changes to the process would be made accordingly to ensure that the local Member/s were informed in a timely manner.
